Glitter!

 Wow did we start this week off right! Not only did we spend a majority of our day outside, but we also got to use glitter. LOTS of glitter. Since we are always working on our self regulation, we thought it would be a good idea to carry some of these good strategies into our lives at home. Today, the kids sat down at the big table to create their very own sensory/ calm down bottles. This was so fun and the kids were very engaged! I mean who wouldn't want to put a bunch of glitter in a bottle?! 

After making the bottles we talked about when we should use it. 

"We can use it when we are feeling mad! You shake it all crazy!"

"Yeah, or maybe when you're sad."

We quickly practiced some crazy bodies before taking a deep breath and doing some yoga poses to bring us back to center. Once these bottles are dry, you can expect them to come right on home! They are a great fidget to keep in a special place in your house or maybe even the car. Enjoy this video of glitter madness!
